MkIV turbo was 3500 lb. +/-, and I recall lower trap speeds, quick search indicates 106-107.

I was never a big fan of the MkIV. Very fast, yes, but 3500 lb and 53/47 weight distribution seemed more like a Japanese muscle car to me. One that handled well, to be sure...

I think I'm going to like the new Supra a lot more. Particularly if the 4cylinder version is nearer to 3000 lb than 3300.

The A80 Supra was a hell of a performer, even stock. The A90 has BIG shoes to fill.
